Device and method for subpixel rendering

Abstract:

A display driver comprises: subpixel rendering (SPR) circuitry configured to use, in SPR, predetermined regions which fall within two lines of input subpixels of an input image; buffer memory circuitry configured to store first subpixel data for a plurality of first subpixels of the input subpixels, wherein the plurality of the first subpixels each are encompassed in the predetermined regions; and a register configured to store coefficients, wherein the coefficients respectively correspond to shapes of the portions of the first subpixels encompassed in the predetermined regions. The SPR circuitry is configured to calculate second subpixel data for second subpixels of an output image, based on the first subpixel data stored in the buffer memory circuitry and the coefficients stored in the register.
